In partisan year, some Democrats stress work with Trump, GOP - Roll Call

Hayes, a former public school teacher who had never run for political office before winning the open seat in Connecticut’s 5th District in 2018, says she quickly learned that working across the aisle is the only way to get anything done in Congress. 

Trump, she says,  “did things while he was president that were a threat to our democracy. I can agree with that and also say that as president, I needed him to sign my bill … to help veterans. I understand this job, and I recognize my role is to try to get results, and if that means I have to work with Republicans, if that means I have to make a case to the sitting president for why my bill should be [supported], that's my job,’’ she said.

She surveyed voters and found political independents and "weak partisans" reward bipartisanship. “In a competitive election, you need to win over those voters,’’ she said. “The majority of people are in the middle, not at the ideological extremes.”
